Norah turns one//3.27.17

Birthday celebrations aren’t just for little girls and boys, it is a day to celebrate for parents too. You are on either side of the spectrum: “Hooray! We survived a year!” or “Where has this year gone?!?”. My husband and I were both the latter of the two. When Norah’s birthday approached, we knew it wasn’t just an ordinary day. Exactly one year ago our lives completely changed! Even though we had already celebrated with friends and family, we knew we couldn’t just wake up, go to work, and go about our regular routine on that drizzly Monday. 

So we took the day off!

Our day was filled with love, laughter, and adventure as we followed our little girl around town. The best part- the Hands On Children’s Museum. Since she was able to walk, we thought it might be fun to check it out; and boy were we right. Her face was filled with joy as daddy helped her down the slides and escorted her around from exhibit to exhibit. I, of course, spent most of the time behind the camera admiring the two of them playing. 

We still can’t believe how fast the year has gone by and we look forward to our new tradition every March 27th- Celebrating not only Norah, but the day we became parents!
